[New-bugs-announce] [issue7251] Mark expected failures of test_math, test_cmath and test_round as such.

[Mark Dickinson]

New submission from Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com>:

There are some buildbot failures due to platform-specific bugs that need
to be marked as expected failures, using the unittest.expectedFailure
decorator.  This may require reorganizing the tests slightly.

* tanh(-0.0) produces 0.0 instead of -0.0 on FreeBSD 6;  this causes
test_math and test_cmath to fail.  E.g.,

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/builders/x86%20FreeBSD%20trunk/builds/2741

* the libm round function on Debian alpha seems to be buggy;  this
causes test_round in test_builtin.py to fail.  E.g.,

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/builders/alpha%20Debian%20trunk/builds/30
